About us

We make good, professional design accessible and affordable to those trying to make the world a better place.

Dedicated to serving Scotland’s third sector, we’re a small company with a big heart.

Originally founded in 1989, we share the values of three powerful and historical social movements.

The co-operative movement’s ethical values of solidarity, openness, equality and social responsibility are as fundamental to graphics.coop today as they were to the Rochdale Pioneers more than 150 years ago.

The desktop publishing revolution of the 1980s democratised print and design. Community printshops and alternative media blossomed. Widespread access to computers allowed anyone to design, print and distribute information.

The internet revolution of the 1990s created the World Wide Web and open source philosophy – a belief that software design should be universally and freely available for modification and improvement.
